DIARY DATE: LOUBOUTIN'S FIRST UK RETROSPECTIVE EXHIBITION

Litigious WAG fav Christian Louboutin has kindly announced that he will be launching his first ever UK retrospective next March to celebrate my birthday.  OK so that's not strictly true, it's to mark his 20 year anniversary in the luxury footwear industry, but the date couldn't be closer, taking place at London's Design Museum from 28th March to 1st July 2012.

According to the press release the exhibition which will be created by the team behind the interior of Shoreditch House and the Christian Louboutin pop-up at Selfridges, will include "an in-depth insight into the design process, detailing how the shoe is made from beginning to end with a special focus on the origins of the trademark red sole. Visitors also get to find out how the brand approaches sales, store design and marketing, as Louboutin famously does not advertise."  Intriguing stuff, though personally I'm more interested in whether there will be any Mad Mary Janes (above) in a size 41 going spare/left unguarded. 

For more details keep an eye on the Design Museum or Christian Louboutin websites.
